RemoteID - Measuring our Impact

The most important thing one can learn is one’s own status. Armed with that knowledge and the facts TRIAD weaves into programs, individuals can make informed decisions about their own behavior.

RemoteID™ makes it easier for local field medical and research staff to capture,securely transmit (via any network technology, including cellular—which is morewidely available than wired internet connectivity in many underdeveloped areas*)and remotely store, aggregate, and access anonymous, confidential informationabout participants.

The system encourages significantly greater participation in TRIAD’s education,treatment, and monitoring programs. Because all the captured data is linked bydefault to unique biometric records and not any personally identifiable information, the cultural and personal concerns about privacy are largely eliminated. Yet thescan makes it possible to longitudinally track/update the data over time to provideongoing health education and outcome research, and still maintain confidentiality.
